WKFT-TV 40, Fayetteville NC Sign-Off & Sign-On 1993 

Before the color bars emerge, the song that's being played is Oh Lonesome Me from The Kentucky Headhunters. :)

Up until 1995, it was one of my 2 favorite channels in the Triangle (Raleigh-Durham Area). I so enjoyed hearing "WKFT: Fayetteville- Raleigh-Durham." Now it's become an affiliate to Univision which speaks only Spanish.

I loved this channel...and I remember being devastated when it went off of the air for good.For those of us who didn't have cable in those days..it was our clearest channel we could receive.Damn...I miss that MATLOCK.We miss you WKFT 40. So long faithful friend.

From the post-WRAL simulcast era... in the 80s this channel was branded "CounterForce 40" until WRAL latched on to them temporarily after their tower was knocked out by an icestorm in December 1989

mMan this brings back ol' memories. WKFT-40 was the channel I watched for Charlotte Hornets basketball and Baltimore Orioles baseball. Man I miss those days.

I used to love this channel when I was a kid. WWF syndicated shows on the weekends and afternoon cartoons after school each day.

I was an engineer there from 1981 to 1983, lots of fun, great memories!!!

This brings back memories. I had just moved to NC in June of 93 from up north. I loved WKFT for the old Taxi reruns. I also remember the Hollerin Contest!

I used to stay up late and watch them, too, and still think they're cool. I never bothered to explain it to my parents because I didn't know how, either. :)

I used to work there with Jim in production. That was my first TV job. I also knew Cindy at the top of this clip. My job was to cut promos and edit movies...let's say I missed a couple of shots that should have been edited out in a movie and moved on to other things....fun job, though!

OMG... somebody who remembers Barney's Army... I used to love "TV Pow!"

Annnnd it's now WUVC, a Spanish speaking station now owned by Univision, and now, since they moved from Fayetteville completely, Fayetteville has NO tv station now, which sucks since we get our news mostly from Raleigh and Durham.

A sad relic from the days of when independent TV was in existence.

And so ends another day in Fayettenam. For those of you in Spring Lake, now's a good time to reload your firearms.

I remember "T.V. Pow" with this animated character named Barney....Barney's Army. My gosh...thanks for the memories....

I actually stumbled across a used blank video at the Salvation Army (that I bought for a mere 49 cents) - little did I know, someone actually recorded some stuff from WKFT sometime in either the late 1990s or early 2000s - sadly, there was no audio whatsoever in the recording! That really sucked!!!
